An international design competition for the Black Rock City master plan

The Big Book Of Ideas

That’s the question a group of long-time Burning Man participants posed last fall. Thousands of people from nearly every country in the world expressed an interest in submitting their ideas.

The result of this unofficial design competition is a free ebook of almost 100 city plans from contributors in over 30 countries. These designs, ranging from rough sketches to beautifully detailed renderings, explore the concept of Black Rock City as an imagined space, from straightforward adaptations to the current plan to completely new and science fictional cityscapes.
